Paard met ruiter voor een wagen gespannen before 1899

"Paard met ruiter voor een wagen gespannen" is a photograph by Otto H. Müller, created before 1899. It shows a horse-drawn carriage on a beach, with the horse and driver in the foreground. The photograph is a classic example of Pictorialism, a photographic movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that sought to elevate photography to the status of fine art. This image, created by the artist for exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin, exemplifies pictorialism’s use of soft focus, tonal range, and composition to create a romantic and evocative atmosphere.
